Militia units - Guest - 04-02-2001
Salvete,<br>
<br>
Next to the regular armed forces of long serving troops there is regular mention of irregular forces, some evidently scratch units composed for an emergency, others apparently of a more permanent nature. Some of these appear to have been taken up as regular auxiliary formations in the professional army, but nevertheless some type of militia organisation appears to have remained in place in parts of the empire.<br>
<br>
Though I know of some publications that have some material on these units, eg Saddington's works on the auxilia, is anyone aware of publications that treat them more in depth apart from these listed below?<br>
